14-06: Cooling Water Microbial Control Impacts Overall Plant Performance Use of Biocides

14-06: Cooling Water Microbial Control Impacts Overall Plant Performance Use of BiocidesMicrobial inhibition, as part of a robust cooling water treatment program, presents a special challenge because of the variability in makeup water sources, plant processes, and discharge permits. Failure to maintain a proper microbial inhibition program will affect your bottom line as a result of heat rate degradation. This paper discusses how the plant designed and implemented a trial to determine the costs and effects of improved microbial

two-stage evaporative cooling tower dry ambient air conditions

The velocity also has an effect on the condensate temperature

and required CFM

This Structural Design Guideline provides minimum design standards and cautionary recommendations to designers of FRP structural cooling towers

permissible hot and cold-water temperatures

Many benefits accrue to all segments of the industry when cooling towers are certified per CTI Standard STD-201

also recommendations for tower orientation to minimize recirculation

The work on the remaining two towers is scheduled for completion at the end of 2005

increasing government regulations

The recycle and reuse of waste and process water streams can turn potential environmental problem discharge streams into beneficial cooling tower make-up streams
